Also, since they are talking about optimization, I wonder why they make embedded fonts a requirement to view their plain-text page. I disable loading of fonts because it's useless and often slows everything down, and this is how their page look without these fonts: http://i.imgur.com/oDO8gRt.png http://i.imgur.com/oDO8gRt.png
- seanwilson 11y agoI imagine the vast majority of web users have font loading enabled so they optimised and tested for that.
- oneeyedpigeon 11y agoSo, ... screw the minority? Seriously, one of the benefits of the web stack is that it makes it very easy to cater for a wide variety of capabilities, rather than resorting to "Best viewed with Internet Explorer 5"-type behaviour.
- seanwilson 11y agoWhat browser doesn't support fonts? If web developers had to support every permutation of turning off cookies, fonts, images, JavaScript, stylesheets etc. you'd never get anything done.
- oneeyedpigeon 11y agolaurent123456's doesn't. And I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't countless mobile phones, console browsers, etc. that didn't. You don't need to support every permutation of each technology; provide base functionality, and enhance it using each, if it's available.
